How these testimonials were collected and how we’re paid

  1. We interview residents and family members by phone, voice to voice — never web forms, never scraped from other sites.
  2. Every testimonial is named and dated, and verified against the community’s current resident or family list before publishing.
  3. Testimonials are published as given, including critical ones. Of the 40 on this page, 39 are five-star and 1 are four-star. None were removed.

How Lilisity is paid: Communities can pay Lilisity a flat monthly fee to manage their own listing: photos, prices, contact details, and receiving the inquiries families choose to send them. The fee is the same no matter how many families contact them or move in. Senior Living Alliance, which runs Lilisity, offers the same listing to its member communities as part of their membership; members pay SLA for its resident and family interview program. No community pays Lilisity per inquiry, per referral or per move-in. Payment never changes a testimonial, a rating, or the order of search results. The "Nearby Senior Living Alliance communities" box shows member communities only. CMS ratings come from the federal government, and testimonials come from residents.

Miami senior living questions, answered

Most states, including Florida, offer a Medicaid waiver that covers care costs (not room and board) at participating assisted living communities for people who qualify financially and medically. Not every community accepts the waiver, so ask early. Veterans and surviving spouses may also qualify for VA Aid & Attendance, worth up to roughly $2,300 per month toward care.

Assisted living provides housing, meals, and help with daily tasks like bathing and medications in an apartment setting, state-licensed and mostly private pay. Nursing homes (skilled nursing) provide 24/7 medical care, are federally certified and CMS-rated, and are typically paid through Medicare, Medicaid, or long-term-care insurance.

Every facility in the table above links to its full record — CMS star ratings, health-inspection findings, staffing hours per resident, and any fines or penalties, sourced from Medicare's Care Compare data. 41 Miami-area facilities currently hold a 5-star overall rating.

Assisted living moves can happen in days when a community has availability — after a nurse assessment and paperwork. Memory care placements after a crisis often complete within one to two weeks. Ask each community about openings when you call.

Yes. All 40 testimonials on this page come from recorded, voice-to-voice phone interviews with named residents and family members, conducted and verified by Senior Living Alliance. Nothing is scraped, anonymous, or edited, including the four-star testimonials.
